Much of our work focuses on host-parasite coevolution both computationally using populations of self-replicating computer programs (sort of like computer viruses), and experimentally in the lab with bacteria and their viruses (bacteriophage). But that’s not all! We’re deeply interdisciplinary, and broadly interested in ecology and evolution. While I often approach questions from an experimentalist’s perspective, ...

I am interested in how governance, communities, and inequality emerge in sociotechnical systems, and how the structure of sociotechnical systems encodes and reinforces these processes. To those ends, I develop empirical data and computational methods, focusing on latent variable models; statistical inference in networks; empirical design to study governance in organizations, platforms, and computational social ...

The long temporal and large spatial scales of ecological systems make controlled experimentation difficult and the amassing of informative data challenging and expensive. The resulting sparsity and noise are major impediments to scientific progress in ecology, which therefore depends on efficient use of data. In this context, it has in recent years been recognized that ...

I am a computational social scientist and sociologist. In addition to my appointments at Michigan, I am an external faculty member at the Santa Fe Institute and serve on their Science Steering Committee; I also serve on the advisory board for the Social Science Research Council’s Social Data Initiative. The vast amounts of activity data ...

Marisa Eisenberg

My research is focused on developing and using identifiability and parameter estimation methods in mathematical modeling to generate insights into disease mechanisms, forecasting, and intervention design. My work blends mathematics, statistics, and epidemiology to both develop new methods and theory and to translate this theory to directly improve population health.

Daniel Romero

My research focuses on the empirical and theoretical analysis of social and information networks. I am particularly interested in understanding the mechanisms involved in network evolution, information diffusion, and interactions among people on the Web and in complex organizations.
